<p>The navigation panel is located on the left-hand side of the main screen.
It controls the 4 other windows. Clicking a window name opens a popup menu containing specific commands
related to the window.<br></p>
<p align="center"><img src="img/navmenu.png"></p>
<br>The root branch <i>Thematic Map</i> opens a popmenu with following commands:
<ul>
<li>New: creates a new empty thematic map.</li>
<li>Open: opens an existing thematic map.</li>
<li>Save: saves the current thematic map. The thematic map can be saved as TMap Designer proprietary formats (.tma, .tml) for further editing or using bitmap format (.png, .jpg) 
for integration in other applications. The .tma format contains all the information to build the thematic map inline while the .tml format links information contained in other
files. Every time a .tml file is saved, the properties window is displayed to let the user edit the linked files selection.</li>
<li>Save as: creates a copy of the current thematic map with a new name.</li>
<li>New Thematic Map Wizard: opens the thematic map wizard and guides the user step by step to create a new thematic map.</li>
<li>Full screen: displays the current thematic map full screen.</li>
<li>Clipboard copy: copies the current thematic map to the clipboard so it can be paste in any other application.</li>
<li>Print: prints the current thematic map using the standard print dialog.</li>
<li>Properties: edits the linked files for .tml files.</li>
</ul>
